Notes: Played his senior high school season at Youngstown (Ohio) Cardinal Mooney, where he played quarterback, though a broken fibula limited him to nine games. Spurned by Ohio State, joined the Hawkeyes and redshirted in 2006. Played in all 12 games in 2007, starting the final eight at flanker following an injury to the starter, and recorded 38 receptions for 482 yards (12.7-yard average) with 22 kickoff returns for 521 yards (23.7). Started 11-of-13 games at flanker in '08, snagging 44-639-3 (14.5) with 9-178 (19.8) on kickoff returns. Did not start against Illinois or Penn State. Played in 12 games in '09, starting the final seven at flanker, and totaled 45-750-2 (16.7) receiving with 12-378 (31.5) on kickoff returns. Was bothered by a strained hamstring in September and did not play against Arizona. Also was held out of the first half against Arkansas State (undisclosed reason). Became Iowa's career leader in receiving yards (2,616) in '10 when he started 10-of-12 games played, catching 46-745-10 (16.2), rushing 5-40-0 (8.0) and returning kickoffs 17-498-1 (29.3). Kicked off the team following a December arrest - was charged with seven misdemeanors: four counts of possession of controlled substances, two counts of unlawful possession of prescription drugs and one count of keeping a drug house (also tested positive for cocaine and marijuana). Ultimately pleaded guilty to possession and received a deferred judgment, including one year of probation.

Positives: Good quickness - can shake the jam and shows urgency off the line. Crisp route runner - stems off the line, exhibits good posture and tempo and uses nods and fakes to set up defenders. Sinks his hips and gets into and out of breaks. Does not waste much movement. Played in a pro-style offense and ran a full route tree. Offers versatility as a kickoff returner (see 99-yard TD vs. Ohio State in '09).

Negatives: Average vertical speed. Lacks elite burst. Hands are inconsistent and lets throws into his body. Not a physical blocker. Does not play with a special-teams mentality. Suspect character and toughness. Immature. Has a big ego and thinks he's better than he is. Undisciplined and untrustworthy. Is not a hard worker.

Summary: Talented, productive, inconsistent, immature receiver with the physical ability and route-running savvy to develop into a No. 3 or No. 4 capable of working inside or outside and contributing as a kickoff returner, though his marginal character has knocked him off some draft boards. Played like he had something to prove at the NFLPA all-star game.
